Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the activation of a hydraulic vehicle brake system (1) of a hybrid vehicle which can be braked by generator operation of an electric drive motor (12). In order to compensate for the braking effect of the electric drive motor (12), the invention proposes reducing a wheel brake pressure in the wheel brakes (4) of the vehicle wheels by opening brake pressure-reducing valves (8) which are braked with the electric drive motor (12).

Eine unverzichtbare Forderung an das Bremsen eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit einem Elektro-Antriebsmotor im Generatorbetrieb ist, dass sich der Brems- weg nicht verlängern darf.An indispensable requirement for braking a motor vehicle with an electric drive motor in generator mode is that the braking distance must not be extended.
Bei elektrohydraulischen Fahrzeugbremsanlagen ist das Verblenden unbemerkt vom Fahrzeugführer vergleichsweise einfach möglich. Elektro- hydraulische Fahrzeugbremsanlagen sind Fremdkraft-Bremsanlagen, bei denen die zur Bremsbetätigung erforderliche Energie nicht durch Muskelkraft eines Fahrzeugführers, sondern ausschließlich von einer Fremdenergieversorgungseinrichtung stammt, der Bremsdruck wird von einer Hydro- pumpe erzeugt. Der Fahrzeugführer gibt an einem Bremspedal einen Sollwert für die Bremskraft vor.In electrohydraulic vehicle brake systems blending unnoticed by the driver is relatively easy. Electrohydraulic vehicle brake systems are external power brake systems in which the energy required for the brake actuation does not originate from the muscular strength of a vehicle driver, but exclusively from an external energy supply device; the brake pressure is generated by a hydraulic pump. The driver prescribes a desired value for the braking force on a brake pedal.
Hydraulische Fahrzeugbremsanlagen sind an sich bekannt und sollen hier nicht näher erläutert werden. Es sind auch hydraulische Fahrzeugbremsanlagen mit einer Radschlupfregelung bekannt, die für jede Radbreme ein Bremsdruckaufbauventil und ein Bremsdruckabsenkventil aufweisen, mit denen ein Radbremsdruck und damit eine Bremskraft der jeweiligen Radbremse zum Zwecke der Schlupfregelung modulierbar, d.h. Steuer- bzw. regelbar ist. Es lässt sich sowohl der Radbremsdruck absenken um ein Blockieren eines Fahrzeugrads beim Bremsen zu vermeiden, als auch ein Radbremsdruck aufbauen, um ein Durchdrehen eines angetriebenen Fahrzeugrades beim Anfahren und/oder Beschleunigen zu vermeiden oder zu begrenzen und es lassen sich auch einzelne Fahrzeugräder gezielt bremsen, um in kritischen Fahrsituationen eine Schleuderneigung zu verringern.Hydraulic vehicle brake systems are known per se and will not be explained in detail here. There are also known hydraulic vehicle brake systems with a wheel slip control, which for each Radbreme a brake pressure build-up valve and a brake pressure reduction valve, with which a wheel brake pressure and thus a braking force of the respective wheel brake for the purpose of slip control modulated, ie tax or is controllable. It can both lower the wheel brake pressure to prevent a locking of a vehicle wheel when braking, and build a wheel brake pressure to avoid spinning a driven vehicle wheel when starting and / or accelerating or limit and it can also selectively brake individual vehicle wheels, to reduce the tendency to spin in critical driving situations.
Als üblich anzusehen sind heutzutage Unterdruck-Bremskraftverstärker, deren Aufbau und Funktion bekannt ist und deswegen hier nicht erläutert werden soll. Auch sind elektromechanische Bremskraftverstärker bekannt, die eine Hilfskraft zur Betätigung eines Hauptbremszylinders beispielsweise elektromotorisch oder elektromagnetisch erzeugen. Beispielsweise ist aus der Offenlegungsschrift DE 100 57 557 A1 ein elektromechanischer Bremskraftverstärker mit einem Elektromagneten oder einem Linearmotor zur Erzeugung der Hilfskraft zur Bremsbetätigung bekannt. Wie ein Unterdruck-Bremskraftverstärker übt auch ein elektromechanischer Bremskraftverstärker die von ihm erzeugte Hilfskraft zusätzlich zu einer von einem Fahrzeugführer ausgeübten Muskelkraft auf einen Hauptbremszylinder der Fahrzeugbremsanlage zum Aufbau eines Bremsdrucks aus.To be regarded as common nowadays vacuum brake booster whose structure and function is known and therefore should not be explained here. Also, electromechanical brake booster are known which generate an auxiliary power for actuating a master cylinder, for example, electric motor or electromagnetically. For example, from the published patent application DE 100 57 557 A1, an electromechanical brake booster with an electromagnet or a linear motor for generating the power to brake operation known. Like a vacuum brake booster, an electro-mechanical brake booster also applies the auxiliary power generated by it to a master brake cylinder of the vehicle brake system to build up a brake pressure, in addition to a muscular force exerted by a vehicle driver.
Die Anwendung der Erfindung ist auch für Kraft- oder sonstige Fahrzeuge möglich, die einen Generator aufweisen, der zum Bremsen benutzt wird ohne ein elektrischer Antriebsmotor zu sein.The application of the invention is also possible for power or other vehicles having a generator which is used for braking without being an electric drive motor.
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Die hydraulische Fahrzeugbremsanlage, zu deren Steuerung bei einer Bremsbetätigung das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgesehen ist, weist einen muskelkraft-, also fuß- oder hand- betätigbaren Hauptbremszylinder auf, an den eine hydraulische Radbremse, beispielsweise eine Scheiben- oder Trommelbremse, angeschlossen ist. Ein Bremskraftverstärker erhöht die Betätigungskraft des Hauptbremszylinders. Er ist an sich vorgesehen, allerdings nicht zwingend notwendig für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren. Außerdem ist über ein steuerbares Ventil, insbesondere ein Magnetventil und vorzugsweise wegen der besse- ren Steuerbarkeit ein Proportionalventil ein Hydrospeicher an die Fahrzeugbremsanlage angeschlossen.The hydraulic vehicle brake system, for the control of a braking operation, the inventive method is provided with the features of claim 1, has a muscle force, so foot or hand operable master cylinder to which a hydraulic wheel brake, such as a disc or drum brake, connected. A brake booster increases the operating force of the master cylinder. It is intended in itself, but not necessarily for the inventive method. In addition, via a controllable valve, in particular a solenoid valve and preferably because of the better Ren controllability a proportional valve a hydraulic accumulator connected to the vehicle brake system.
Das mit der Fahrzeugbremsanlage ausgerüstete und zu bremsende Kraft- fahrzeug ist wie eingangs erläutert insbesondere ein Elektro- oder Hybridfahrzeug mit einem Elektro-Antriebsmotor, der zum Bremsen des Kraftfahrzeugs als Generator betreibbar ist. Ob der Elektro-Antriebsmotor beim Bremsen als Generator betrieben wird und welchen Anteil er zur Bremswirkung beiträgt, ist von der jeweiligen Fahrsituation, insbesondere von der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit und der geforderten Bremskraft bzw. Bremswirkung und beispielsweise auch vom Ladezustand eines Akkumulators abhängig, der mit dem elektrischen Strom geladen wird, den der Elektro- Antriebsmotor des Kraftfahrzeugs im Generatorbetrieb erzeugt. Der Anteil, den der Elektro-Antriebsmotor im Generatorbetrieb zur Bremswirkung bei- trägt, schwankt und liegt zwischen null und hundert Prozent.The motor vehicle equipped with the vehicle brake system and to be braked is, as explained in the introduction, in particular an electric or hybrid vehicle with an electric drive motor which can be operated as a generator for braking the motor vehicle. Whether the electric drive motor is operated as a generator during braking and what proportion it contributes to the braking effect depends on the particular driving situation, in particular on the vehicle speed and the required braking force or braking effect and, for example, on the state of charge of an accumulator that is connected to the electrical current is loaded, which generates the electric drive motor of the motor vehicle in the generator mode. The proportion that the electric drive motor contributes to the braking effect during generator operation fluctuates between zero and one hundred percent.
Die Erfindung sieht vor, durch Öffnen des Ventils ein Bremsflüssigkeitsvolumen in den Hydrospeicher zu leiten, wenn bei einer Bremsbetätigung der Elektro-Antriebsmotor als Generator betrieben wird. Der Bremsdruck in der Radbremse oder in der Fahrzeugbremsanlage wird dadurch verringert, ebenso verringert sich die Bremswirkung der betroffenen Radbremsen. Erfindungsgemäß wird also die Bremswirkung der hydraulischen Fahrzeugbremsanlage verringert und dadurch die Bremswirkung des Elektro- Antriebsmotors im Generatorbetrieb vollständig oder teilweise kompensiert. Zur Steuerung des Bremsdrucks und der Bremswirkung wird das Ventil teilweise oder vorübergehend geöffnet, es kann moduliert gesteuert werden wie während einer Schlupfregelung.The invention provides, by opening the valve to direct a volume of brake fluid in the hydraulic accumulator, when operated in a braking operation of the electric drive motor as a generator. The brake pressure in the wheel brake or in the vehicle brake system is thereby reduced, as well as the braking effect of the affected wheel brakes is reduced. According to the invention, therefore, the braking effect of the hydraulic vehicle brake system is reduced, thereby completely or partially compensating the braking effect of the electric drive motor in the generator mode. To control the brake pressure and the braking effect, the valve is opened partially or temporarily, it can be controlled modulated as during a slip control.
Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass sie ein gleiches Pedalgefühl und Pedal- verhalten bei einer Bremsbetätigung mit dem Elektro-Antriebsmotor im Generatorbetrieb ermöglicht wie ohne die Bremswirkung des Elektro- Antriebsmotors. Ein Fahrzeugführer merkt nichts vom Verblenden, also davon, dass ein Teil der Bremswirkung vom Elektro-Antriebsmotor im Generatorbetrieb bewirkt wird, selbst dann, wenn der Anteil während der Brem- sung schwankt. Eine Abhängigkeit zwischen einer Stellung eines Bremspedals, einer Pedalkraft und der Bremswirkung ist unabhängig vom Gene- ratorbetrieb des Elektro-Antriebsmotors oder jedenfalls ist die Änderung der Abhängigkeit so gering, dass der Fahrzeugführer sie nicht wahrnimmt. Die Erfindung wird allerdings auch dann verwirklicht, wenn sich die Abhängigkeit zwischen Pedalstellung, Pedalkraft und Bremswirkung merkbar ändern. Bei einer handbetätigten Fahrzeugbremsanlage tritt an die Stelle der Pedalstellung und Pedalkraft die Stellung eines Handbremshebels und die auf den Handbremshebel ausgeübte Handkraft.The invention has the advantage that it allows the same pedal feel and pedal behavior in a braking operation with the electric drive motor in the generator mode as without the braking effect of the electric drive motor. A vehicle driver does not notice anything about blending, ie, that part of the braking effect is caused by the electric drive motor in generator mode, even if the proportion fluctuates during braking. A dependency between a position of a brake pedal, a pedal force and the braking effect is independent of the gene rator operation of the electric drive motor or in any case, the change in dependence is so low that the driver does not perceive. However, the invention is also realized when the dependence between pedal position, pedal force and braking effect noticeably change. In a hand-operated vehicle brake system, the position of a hand brake lever and the hand force exerted on the hand brake lever replace the pedal position and pedal force.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte erfindungsgemäße hydraulische Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 weist eine Schlupfregelung (Blockierschutzregelung ABS; Antriebsschlupfregelung ASR; Fahrdynamikregelung FDR, ESP) auf. Sie ist als Zweikreisbremsanlage mit zwei Bremskreisen I, Il ausgebildet, die an einen Hauptbremszylinder 2 angeschlossen sind. Jeder Bremskreis I, Il ist über ein Trennventil 3 an den Hauptbremszylinder 2 angeschlossen.The inventive hydraulic vehicle brake system 1 shown in the drawing has a slip control (anti-lock control ABS, traction control system ASR, vehicle dynamics control FDR, ESP). It is designed as a dual-circuit brake system with two brake circuits I, Il, which are connected to a master cylinder 2. Each brake circuit I, Il is connected via a separating valve 3 to the master cylinder 2.
Die Trennventile 3 sind in ihrer stromlosen Grundstellung offene 2/2-Wege- Magnetventile. Den Trennventilen 3 ist jeweils ein vom Hauptbremszylinder 2 zu Radbremsen 4 durchströmbares Rückschlagventil 5 hydraulisch parallel geschaltet. An das Trennventil 3 jedes Bremskreis I, Il sind die Radbremsen 4 über Bremsdruckaufbauventile 6 angeschlossen. Die Brems- druckaufbauventile 6 sind in ihrer stromlosen Grundstellung offene 2/2-The isolation valves 3 are in their normally open normal position open 2/2-way Solenoid valves. The separating valves 3 are each a hydraulically connected in parallel from the master cylinder 2 to wheel brakes 4 check valve 5. At the separating valve 3 each brake circuit I, Il the wheel brakes 4 are connected via brake pressure build-up valves 6. The brake pressure build-up valves 6 are in their normally open normal position open 2/2
Wege-Magnetventile. Ihnen sind Rückschlagventile 7 parallel geschaltet, die von den Radbremsen 4 in Richtung zum Hauptbremszylinder 2 durchströmbar sind.Way solenoid valves. They are non-return valves 7 connected in parallel, which can be flowed through by the wheel brakes 4 in the direction of the master cylinder 2.
An jede Radbremse 4 ist ein Bremsdruckabsenkventil 8 angeschlossen, die gemeinsam an eine Saugseite einer Hydropumpe 9 angeschlossen sind.To each wheel brake 4, a brake pressure reduction valve 8 is connected, which are connected together to a suction side of a hydraulic pump 9.
Die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 sind als in ihrer stromlosen Grundstellung geschlossene 2/2-Wege-Magnetventile ausgebildet. Eine Druckseite der Hydropumpe 9 ist zwischen den Bremsdruckaufbauventilen 6 und den Trennventilen 3 angeschlossen, d. h. die Druckseite der Hydropumpe 9 ist über die Bremsdruckaufbauventile 6 mit den Radbremsen 4 und über dasThe Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 are formed as closed in their currentless home position 2/2-way solenoid valves. A pressure side of the hydraulic pump 9 is connected between the brake pressure buildup valves 6 and the isolation valves 3, d. H. the pressure side of the hydraulic pump 9 is via the brake pressure build-up valves 6 with the wheel brakes 4 and over the
Trennventil 3 mit dem Hauptbremszylinder 2 verbunden. Die Bremsdruckaufbauventile 6 und die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 sind wegen der besseren Steuer- und Regelbarkeit Proportionalventile.Separating valve 3 is connected to the master cylinder 2. The brake pressure build-up valves 6 and the brake pressure reduction valves 8 are proportional valves because of better controllability and controllability.
Jeder der beiden Bremskreise I, Il weist eine Hydropumpe 9 auf, die ge- meinsam mit einem Elektromotor 10 antreibbar sind. Die Saugseiten derEach of the two brake circuits I, II has a hydraulic pump 9 which can be driven together with an electric motor 10. The suction sides of the
Hydropumpen 9 sind an die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 angeschlossen. Auf der Saugseite der Hydropumpen 9 sind Hydrospeicher 1 1 zur Aufnahme und Zwischenspeicherung von Bremsflüssigkeit vorhanden, die durch Öffnen der Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 während einer Schlupfregelung aus den Radbremsen 4 ausströmt.Hydraulic pumps 9 are connected to the brake pressure reduction valves 8. On the suction side of the hydraulic pumps 9 hydraulic accumulator 1 1 for receiving and temporary storage of brake fluid are present, which flows out of the wheel brakes 4 by opening the Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 during a slip control.
Die Bremsdruckaufbauventile 6 und die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 bilden Radbremsdruckmodulationsventilanordnungen, mit denen bei angetriebener Hydropumpe 9 eine radindividuelle Bremsdruckregelung zur Schlupf- regelung in an sich bekannter und hier nicht zu erläuternder Weise möglich ist. Die Trennventile 3 werden bei einer Schlupfregelung geschlossen, d.h. die Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 wird hydraulisch vom Hauptbremszylinder 2 getrennt. Durch ein Ansaugventil 25 in jedem Bremskreis I, Il ist die Saugseite der Hydropumpe 9 mit dem Hauptbremszylinder 2 verbindbar. Die Ansaugventile 25 sind in ihrer stromlosen Grundstellung geschlossene 2/2-Wege- Magnetventile. Werden Sie geöffnet, saugt die Hydropumpe 9 Bremsflüssigkeit unmittelbar aus dem Hauptbremszylinder 2, wodurch bei unbetätig- tem Hauptbremszylinder 2 bzw. druckloser Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 ein schnellerer Bremsdruckaufbau mit der Hydropumpe 9 möglich ist.The brake pressure build-up valves 6 and the brake pressure reduction valves 8 form wheel brake pressure modulation valve arrangements with which a wheel-specific brake pressure control for slip control is possible with a driven hydraulic pump 9 in a manner known per se and not to be explained here. The separating valves 3 are closed in a slip control, ie the vehicle brake system 1 is hydraulically separated from the master cylinder 2. By an intake valve 25 in each brake circuit I, Il, the suction side of the hydraulic pump 9 is connected to the master cylinder 2. The intake valves 25 are in their normally closed normal position closed 2/2-way solenoid valves. When opened, the hydraulic pump 9 draws brake fluid directly from the master cylinder 2, whereby a faster brake pressure build-up with the hydraulic pump 9 is possible when the brake master cylinder 2 or pressure-less vehicle brake system 1 is not actuated.
Das mit der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 ausgerüstete Kraftfahrzeug weist einen oder mehrere Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 zum Antrieb eines oder mehrer Fahrzeugräder auf. Beispielhaft sind in der Zeichnung zwei Elektro- Antriebsmotoren 12 dargestellt, die zwei Fahrzeugräder einer Fahrzeugachse, im Ausführungsbeispiel die beiden Vorderräder, antreiben. Der An- trieb kann auch mit einem gemeinsamen Elektro-Antriebsmotor erfolgen.The motor vehicle equipped with the vehicle brake system 1 has one or more electric drive motors 12 for driving one or more vehicle wheels. By way of example, two electric drive motors 12 are shown in the drawing, which drive two vehicle wheels of a vehicle axle, in the exemplary embodiment, the two front wheels. The drive can also be done with a common electric drive motor.
Zusätzlich kann ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellter Verbrennungsmotor zum Antrieb des Kraftfahrzeugs vorhanden sein, solche Kraftfahrzeuge werden als Hybridfahrzeuge bezeichnet.In addition, an internal combustion engine, not shown in the drawing for driving the motor vehicle may be present, such vehicles are referred to as hybrid vehicles.
Der Hauptbremszylinder 2 weist einen Bremskraftverstärker 13 auf, im Ausführungsbeispiel einen elektromechanischen Bremskraftverstärker 13, der mit Hilfe eines Elektromotors 14 eine Hilfskraft erzeugt, die zusammen mit einer Muskelkraft, die über ein Bremspedal 15 aufgebracht wird, den Hauptbremszylinder 2 betätigt. Der symbolisch dargestellte Elektromotor 14 ist in den Bremskraftverstärker 13 integriert. Der Elektromotor 14 kann ein rotatorischer Motor sein, dessen Drehbewegung über ein Getriebe untersetzt und in eine translatorische Bewegung zur Betätigung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 gewandelt wird. Es ist auch eine Ausführung des Bremskraftverstärkers 13 mit einem Elektro-Linearmotor oder einem Elektromag- neten möglich. Die Aufzählung ist nicht abschließend.The master cylinder 2 has a brake booster 13, in the exemplary embodiment, an electromechanical brake booster 13, which generates an auxiliary force by means of an electric motor 14, which actuates the master cylinder 2 together with a muscle force which is applied via a brake pedal 15. The symbolically represented electric motor 14 is integrated in the brake booster 13. The electric motor 14 may be a rotary motor whose rotational movement is reduced by a gear and converted into a translational movement for actuating the master cylinder 2. An embodiment of the brake booster 13 with an electric linear motor or an electric motor is also possible. The list is not exhaustive.
Zur Steuerung oder Regelung der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 einschließlich des Bremskraftverstärkers 13 und der Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 ist ein elektronisches Steuergerät 16 vorhanden. Mit einem Kraftsensor 17 ist eine auf das Bremspedal 15 ausgeübte Pedalkraft und mit einem Wegsensor 18 eine Stellung und auch eine Geschwindigkeit oder Beschleunigung des Bremspedals 15 messbar.For controlling or regulating the vehicle brake system 1 including the brake booster 13 and the electric drive motors 12, an electronic control unit 16 is present. With a force sensor 17 is a force exerted on the brake pedal 15 pedal force and with a displacement sensor 18th a position and also a speed or acceleration of the brake pedal 15 can be measured.
Bei einer Betätigung des Bremspedals 15 werden die Elektro- Antriebsmotoren 12 als Generatoren betrieben, sofern der Fahrzustand das zulässt, insbesondere die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit hoch genug ist. Der erzeugte elektrische Strom wird in einem nicht dargestellten Akkumulator gespeichert. Eine Bremswirkung der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 ist durch die als Generatoren betriebenen Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 erhöht. Zur Kompen- sation werden ein oder mehrere Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 geöffnet, so dass Bremsflüssigkeit aus den zugeordneten Radbremsen 4 ausströmt und in die Hydrospeicher 1 1 strömt. Vorzugsweise werden die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 geöffnet, deren zugeordnete Radbremsen 4 die mit den E- lektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 angetriebenen und im Generatorbetrieb ge- bremsten Fahrzeugräder bremsen. Dadurch bleibt eine Bremskraftverteilung auf die Fahrzeugräder erhalten, wie sie mit der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 ohne die Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb herrscht. Die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 sind wie bereits gesagt Proportionalventile, so dass sich der Radbremsdruck in den Radbremsen 4 so regeln lässt, dass das von den Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb verursachteUpon actuation of the brake pedal 15, the electric drive motors 12 are operated as generators, provided that the driving state permits, in particular, the vehicle speed is high enough. The generated electric current is stored in an accumulator, not shown. A braking effect of the vehicle brake system 1 is increased by the electric drive motors 12 operated as generators. For compensating one or more brake pressure reduction valves 8 are opened, so that brake fluid flows out of the associated wheel brakes 4 and flows into the hydraulic accumulator 1 1. Preferably, the brake pressure reduction valves 8 are opened, whose associated wheel brakes 4 brake the vehicle wheels driven by the electric drive motors 12 and braked during generator operation. As a result, a brake force distribution is maintained on the vehicle wheels, as prevails with the vehicle brake system 1 without the electric drive motors 12 in the generator mode. The Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 are as already said proportional valves, so that the wheel brake pressure in the wheel brakes 4 can be controlled so that caused by the electric drive motors 12 in the generator mode
Bremsmoment kompensiert oder näherungsweise kompensiert wird. Ein Verstärkungsfaktor des Bremskraftverstärkers 13 wird so weit verringert, dass am Bremspedal 15 die gleiche Pedalkraft oder jedenfalls näherungsweise die gleiche Pedalkraft wirkt, wie sie bei gleichem Pedalweg ohne die Bremswirkung der Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb wirken würde, also ohne Absenkung des Bremsdrucks durch Öffnen der Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8. Pedalweg und Pedalkraft sind also, zumindest näherungsweise, gleich wie bei einer Bremsung ohne die Elektro- Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb, ein Fahrzeugführer bemerkt nichts davon, dass ein Teil der Bremswirkung nicht auf der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 , sondern auf den Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb beruht. Dieses sog. „Verblenden", also die Regelung des Anteils der Bremswirkung der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 und der Elektro- Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb soll für den Fahrzeugführer un- merklich erfolgen. Das Verhältnis des Anteils der Bremswirkung der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 zur Bremswirkung der Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb schwankt bei einer Bremsung. Muss die Bremskraft der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 erhöht werden, beispielsweise weil die Bremswirkung der Elektro- Antriebsmotoren 12 abnimmt, kann das durch Änderung des Verstärkungsfaktors des Bremskraftverstärkers 13 und/oder durch Erhöhung des Bremsdrucks mit der Hydropumpe 9 erfolgen. Zum Erhöhen des Bremsdrucks kann das Ansaugventil 25 geöffnet werden, so dass die Hydropumpe 9 Bremsflüssigkeit aus dem Hauptbremszylinder 2 ansaugt. Die An- Säugventile 25 müssen geöffnet werden, wenn die Bremsflüssigkeit imBraking torque is compensated or approximately compensated. An amplification factor of the brake booster 13 is reduced so much that acts on the brake pedal 15, the same pedal force or at least approximately the same pedal force, as they would act at the same pedal travel without the braking effect of the electric drive motors 12 in the generator mode, ie without lowering the brake pressure by opening the Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8. Pedal and pedal are thus, at least approximately, the same as in a braking without the electric drive motors 12 in generator mode, a driver not notice that part of the braking effect not on the vehicle brake system 1, but on the electric drive motors 12 is based on generator operation. This so-called "blending", ie the regulation of the proportion of the braking effect of the vehicle brake system 1 and the electric drive motors 12 in the generator mode, is intended to be immaterial to the driver. The ratio of the proportion of the braking effect of the vehicle brake system 1 to the braking effect of the electric drive motors 12 in the generator mode fluctuates during braking. If the braking force of the vehicle brake system 1 must be increased, for example because the braking effect of the electric drive motors 12 decreases, this can be done by changing the amplification factor of the brake booster 13 and / or by increasing the brake pressure with the hydraulic pump 9. To increase the brake pressure, the intake valve 25 can be opened so that the hydraulic pump 9 sucks brake fluid from the master cylinder 2. The on-mammal valves 25 must be opened when the brake fluid in the
Hydrospeicher 1 1 nicht ausreicht. Das Trennventil 3 kann geschlossen werden, um Rückwirkungen durch Druckpulsationen der Hydropumpe 9 auf den Hauptbremszylinder 2 zu vermeiden. Solche Druckpulsationen sind im Bremspedal 15 spürbar. Sie entstehen bauartbedingt durch die diskontinu- ierliche Förderweise von Kolbenpumpen, die üblicherweise verwendet werden.Hydraulic accumulator 1 1 is insufficient. The isolation valve 3 can be closed to avoid repercussions by pressure pulsations of the hydraulic pump 9 on the master cylinder 2. Such pressure pulsations are felt in the brake pedal 15. Due to their design, they are caused by the discontinuous delivery of piston pumps, which are commonly used.
Bei einer Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 mit einer Schlupfregeleinrichtung sind die Bremsdruckabsenkventile 8 und der Hydrospeicher 1 1 , mit denen sich der Radbremsdruck in den Radbremsen 4 absenken lässt, vorhanden. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren benötigt deswegen keine zusätzlichen hydraulischen Bauteile.In a vehicle brake system 1 with a slip control device, the brake pressure reduction valves 8 and the hydraulic accumulator 11, with which the wheel brake pressure can be lowered in the wheel brakes 4, are present. The inventive method therefore requires no additional hydraulic components.
Der elektromechanische Bremskraftverstärker 13 ermöglicht eine leichtere Steuerung oder Regelung des Verstärkungsfaktors als beispielsweise einThe electromechanical brake booster 13 allows easier control of the gain than, for example, a
Unterdruck-Bremskraftverstärker, weswegen ein elektromechanischerVacuum brake booster, which is why an electromechanical
Bremskraftverstärker 13 bevorzugt wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil des elektrome- chanischen Bremskraftverstärkers 13 ist die Möglichkeit, eine Kraft auf dasBrake booster 13 is preferred. Another advantage of the electromechanical brake booster 13 is the possibility of a force on the
Bremspedal 15 auszuüben, die der Betätigung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 entgegengerichtet ist. Das kann auch als negativer Verstärkungsfaktor desApply brake pedal 15, which is opposite to the operation of the master cylinder 2. This can also be considered as a negative gain of the
Bremskraftverstärkers 13 aufgefasst werden. Dadurch ist es möglich, die übliche Pedalkraft am Bremspedal 15 zu erzeugen, wenn der Bremsdruck in der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 zu niedrig dafür ist, die übliche Pedalkraft zu bewirken, weil der Bremsdruck mit den Bremsdruckabsenkventilen 8 da- für zu stark abgesenkt wird. Figur 2 zeigt eine Ausführungsform des elektromechanischen Bremskraftverstärkers 13 in schematisierter, vereinfachter Darstellung. Der Bremskraftverstärker 13 weist eine Kolbenstange 19 auf, die gelenkig mit dem Bremspedal 15 verbunden ist und mit der eine auf das Bremspedal 15 aus- geübte Muskelkraft über eine Reaktionsscheibe 20 auf eine DruckstangeBrake booster 13 can be construed. This makes it possible to produce the usual pedal force on the brake pedal 15 when the brake pressure in the vehicle brake system 1 is too low for effecting the usual pedaling force because the brake pressure with the brake pressure reduction valves 8 is lowered too much for this purpose. Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the electromechanical brake booster 13 in a schematic, simplified representation. The brake booster 13 has a piston rod 19, which is pivotally connected to the brake pedal 15 and with which a muscle force exerted on the brake pedal 15 via a reaction disc 20 on a push rod
21 übertragbar ist. Die Druckstange 21 beaufschlagt in üblicher Weise einen Kolben des in Figur 2 nicht dargestellten Hauptbremszylinders 2. Außerdem weist der Bremskraftverstärker 13 einen elektromechanischen Ak- tuator 22 auf, mit dem ebenfalls über die Reaktionsscheibe 20 eine Hilfs- kraft auf die Druckstange 21 übertragbar ist. Die Hilfskraft ist die vom Aktu- ator 22 erzeugte Kraft. Symbolisch dargestellt zur Krafterzeugung ist der Elektromotor 14, wobei es sich auch um einen Linearmotor handeln kann. Ebenfalls ist eine Hilfskrafterzeugung mit einem Elektromagneten möglich (nicht dargestellt). Die Reaktionsscheibe 20 ist ein gummielastischer Kör- per, der die Muskelkraft von der Pedalstange 19 und die vom Aktuator 22 erzeugte Hilfskraft als Druckkräfte auf die Druckstange 21 überträgt. Eine Kraftübertragung vom Bremskraftverstärker 13 auf den Hauptbremszylinder 2 ist somit nur im Sinne einer Betätigung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 möglich.21 is transferable. In addition, the brake booster 13 has an electromechanical actuator 22 with which an auxiliary force can likewise be transmitted to the push rod 21 via the reaction disk 20. The auxiliary power is the force generated by the actuator 22. Symbolically represented for generating force is the electric motor 14, which may also be a linear motor. Also an auxiliary power generation with an electromagnet is possible (not shown). The reaction disk 20 is a rubber-elastic body which transmits the muscular force from the pedal rod 19 and the auxiliary force generated by the actuator 22 to the pressure rod 21 as compressive forces. A power transmission from the brake booster 13 to the master cylinder 2 is thus possible only in the sense of actuation of the master cylinder 2.
Um mit dem Aktuator 22 des Bremskraftverstärkers 13 die weiter oben beschriebene, der Betätigungsrichtung entgegengerichtete Kraft auf die Kolbenstange 19 ausüben zu können, weist der Bremskraftverstärker 13 eine schaltbare Kupplung 23 auf, beispielsweise eine Magnetkupplung. In der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist mit der Kupplung 23 der AktuatorIn order to be able to exert on the piston rod 19 with the actuator 22 of the brake booster 13 the force described above which is opposite to the direction of actuation, the brake booster 13 has a shiftable clutch 23, for example a magnetic clutch. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is with the clutch 23 of the actuator
22 mit der Druckstange 21 verbindbar, so dass eine der Betätigungsrichtung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 entgegengerichtete, in Figur 2 also nach rechts wirkende Kraft vom Aktuator 22 über die Kupplung 23, die Druckstange 21 und die Reaktionsscheibe 20 auf die Kolbenstange 19 au- sübbar ist, welche mit dem Bremspedal 15 gelenkig verbunden ist. Die22 connected to the push rod 21, so that one of the actuation direction of the master cylinder 2 opposite, in Figure 2 thus acting to the right force from the actuator 22 via the coupling 23, the push rod 21 and the reaction disc 20 on the piston rod 19 is au- sübbar, which is pivotally connected to the brake pedal 15. The
Kupplung 23 ermöglicht die Erzeugung einer Pedalkraft mit dem Aktuator 22, die der Betätigungsrichtung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 entgegengerichtet ist, wenn ein Hydraulikdruck in der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 und folglich im Hauptbremszylinder 2 nicht ausreicht, um eine Pedalkraft am Bremspedal 15 in gewünschter Höhe zu bewirken. Dadurch ist es möglich, immer die übliche bzw. gewohnte, vom Pedalweg abhängige Pedalkraft zu erzeugen, auch wenn der Hydraulikdruck in der Fahrzeugbremsanlage 1 zur Kompensation der Bremswirkung der Elektro-Antriebsmotoren 12 im Generatorbetrieb abgesenkt ist. Selbst bei drucklosem Hauptbremszylinder 2 lässt sich eine grundsätzlich beliebig große Pedalkraft mit dem Aktuator 22 des Bremskraftverstärkers 13 erzeugen.Clutch 23 allows the generation of a pedal force with the actuator 22, which is opposite to the operating direction of the master cylinder 2, when a hydraulic pressure in the vehicle brake system 1 and consequently in the master cylinder 2 is insufficient to effect a pedal force on the brake pedal 15 at the desired height. This makes it possible to always the usual or usual, depending on the pedal travel pedal force generate, even if the hydraulic pressure in the vehicle brake system 1 is lowered to compensate for the braking effect of the electric drive motors 12 in the generator mode. Even with unpressurized master cylinder 2, a fundamentally large pedal force can be generated with the actuator 22 of the brake booster 13.
Die Kupplung 23 ist allgemein als ein Element zu verstehen, über das eine Kraft vom Aktuator 22, die einer Betätigungsrichtung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 entgegengerichtet ist, auf die Pedalstange 19 übertragbar, wenn die Kupplung 23 geschlossen wird. Die Kupplung 23 kann anders als gezeichnet beispielsweise auch so angeordnet sein, dass sie den Aktuator 22 mit der Pedalstange 19 verbindet. Vorzugsweise ist die mit der Kupplung 23 übertragbare Kraft begrenzt, so dass eine Muskelkraftbetätigung des Hauptbremszylinders 2 bei geschlossener Kupplung 23 auch bei blockier- tem Aktuator 22 oder bei der Betätigung entgegengerichteter Kraft des Ak- tuators 22 möglich ist. Zur Steuerung bzw. Regelung weist der Bremskraftverstärker 13 außer dem Kraftsensor 17 und dem Wegsensor 18 einen Lagesensor 24 auf, mit dem eine Verschiebung der Pedalstange 19 gegenüber dem Aktuator 22 messbar ist. Die Kupplung 23 ist so ausgeführt, dass sie auch bei einer Verschiebung der Kolbenstange 19 gegenüber dem Aktuator 22 einrückbar ist. The clutch 23 is generally to be understood as an element by which a force from the actuator 22, which is opposite to an actuating direction of the master cylinder 2, transferable to the pedal rod 19 when the clutch 23 is closed. The coupling 23 may be differently arranged than, for example, also arranged so that it connects the actuator 22 with the pedal rod 19. Preferably, the transferable with the clutch 23 force is limited, so that a muscle power operation of the master cylinder 2 is possible with the clutch 23 closed even when blocked actuator 22 or upon actuation of opposing force of the actuator 22 tuators. For control or regulation of the brake booster 13 except the force sensor 17 and the displacement sensor 18, a position sensor 24, with a displacement of the pedal rod 19 relative to the actuator 22 is measured. The coupling 23 is designed such that it can be engaged with the actuator 22 even when the piston rod 19 is displaced.
